Fairfax voters overwhelmingly support ped/bike project funding

According to the unofficial results from Fairfax County, the 2014 Transportation Bond was approved 214,344 to 83,999. The $100 million bond includes $77.5 million in pedestrian projects, $6.5 million in bike projects, and $16 million in spot road projects. The vote shows that Fairfax residents want safe walk and bike routes and they are willing to pay for them.

Even though Springfield District Supervisor Herrity opposed the bond in a broadcast message sent out yesterday, Springfield District voters thought otherwise, voting 23,834 to 11,220 in support of the bond.
